Thoughts for today

"No matter where you go or what you do, you live your entire life within the confines of your head."
-Terry Josephson

Things I pondered as I painted my thrift store finds on the kitchen floor this afternoon:

• How impatient I am with lengthy craft projects--I think I just get bored. So, yes... the throw pillows that decorate our bed, still have straight pins, not stitches, holding together the final seams.
• Whether people who preach tolerance should be tolerant of intolerant people.
• How much I miss Poppy--with my upcoming trip home to Louisiana, I grieve for our steak dinner tradition, not so much for the food as for the conversation, the love, and the normalcy of it.
• How angry I am about my nephew's "diagnosis".
• Wondering where I can find a friend in this here new town of ours--we looked at Target the other night, but it might be a little odd to do the whole "Wanna be my friend?" number there.
  
• How difficult it is to do the laundry when Rob works nights--just really glad that we don't have little children running around to keep quiet all day.
• How frustrating it is that over half (that's my estimate!) of the books on CD at the library are a part of a series, but it is impossible to figure out which one is the first.
• How excited I am for Elise's "Get Crafty" workshop to begin next week--I've been blog-stalking hoping that there will be an update.
• How I've been dreaming about teaching--if I don't get a job for the fall, even my subconscious will be disappointed.
• How crazy it is to have a forecast for snow flurries in Georgia in the middle of April.
• How much I'm craving Mexican food--Mama, I hope TacoMania is on our to-do list this weekend.
